To all whom it may concern acitizen of the United States, residing at Norristown, in the county of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and useful Combined Beaming Frame a and Press for Looms, of which the following isa specification. p a My invention relates tobeaming frames 10 Be it known thatI; I'IARRISON Gnnnnrfr,

orniachinesused forwiiiding the war for a loom from a reel ontoa beam; and t e objects of my improvements are first, to wind the warp from a reel onto a loom=beam evenly and liniformly, through frictional contact with a 'drumythe beam lying on top endby suitable gearing, fast and loose pulley's and shafting; second to provide a press or sufiicient friction between beam and drum to properly Wind the Warp onto the beam, (some yarns require more and others less pressingor friction) ythirdto afford facilities for mounting and demounting easily the heavy empty or filled beam from thebeaming frame; and fourth to provide means, by

which the operator'may start and stop the Winding of the warp, from any point in the length of the beam. I attain these objects beaming frame.

with the beaming frame illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which .n Fig i top view ofthe beamingframe.

*Fig. 2, is a longitudinal elevation of the Fig.3,"is a cross-section on theline 3 3 Fig. 4c, is an end elevation of the beaming frame showing the driving gear for the drum. i

Inthe drawings D represents the drum made of wood and having a shaft (1, which is fast to the drum and journalledin the standards @11 A gear wheel 01 isfixed to thedrum shaft d and meshes with a pinion 0Z fixed on the counter shaft 0, whichis journalled in the standards 0 and f. The counter shaft c is provided witha fast pulley c and a loose pulley c and a belt shifter c is fastened to afrod 0 which extends the whole Iength'of the beaming frame to enable the operatorto start and stop the rotary motion or the drumD from any point in the length of the beam. This rod 0 is held in position by lugs on the standards f and f Mounted at the top of the drum D and.

being in frictional contact with the same,is the beam B to receive the warp from a reel not shown. This beam is of usualconstruc 3 tion having a shaft 6, a collar 6 and a brake wheel Z2 at each end.

. I (This beam B or. ratherits shaft Z) is held in a slotted bearing 6 in the standards a and a so that as thebeam receives thewarp and becomes larger in diameter the shaft 1) may freely move upward. To pressthe warp standards bear upon the beam shaft 6, and sectional weights 6 maybe %ppliedto the free-end of each lever 6* to e 'ect the pressing of the yarn onto the beam B while winding.

Toinsert an empty beam B into thebeam ing frame or remove a beam onto which the warp has been wound, thefollowing mechand give proper tension in winding) two levers b hinged at one en-d to'the f and f are provided. These levers b at about one third of their length anism have been provided. The slotted bearings b in thestandards a and a (Figs; 2, a 6) are formed by havingone side 6 of each bearing hinged at b, the upper end of b is-normally held in position by a plate 25 and pin b the plates 6 are hinged at one end on studbolts and are slotted on the other end to engage the pinsb l e is a shaft journalled in the standards f and f and e is a gear wheel fastened to the same.

9* is a pinion meshing with thewheel e and imparts rotar motion to the same when operated by t e handle 6 l Thepinion e and handle 6 arefastened to a stud shaft 8*,

which is loosely journaled in a cross piece 6 of the standards a and Inoperating to insert anempty beam B into the beaming frame; the beam is brought by a truck alongside the drum Danfd the flanges b overlap the ends of the drum, the rhain collars 6 areslipped'over the ends of the beam shaft bfthe sides 7) of the slot journals 5 are lowered as shown in Fig. i

and the other ends vof the chains 6 are vertical positionv and locked therein by the plates 0 and pins 6 The chains c are then unhooked from the shaft 6 and thepinion 6 is disengaged from the gear wheel 6 so that the shaft a can rotate freely in any direction. 7 v

After the beam B has received its quota of warp and it is desired to remove the filled beam from the beaming frame, the operation just described is reversed and the beam is delivered onto atruck or the floor as may be required.

The operation of winding the warp from a reel onto the beam B is as follows After theempty beam B is plae'edin position on the drum D, the ends of thewarp are fastened inthe usual manner to the beam surface, the

I weightsb are placed on the levers b and power is applied to the shaft 0 by shifting thebelt from theloose pulley 0 onto the fast pulley 0 andby the intervention of the gears d1 andd the drum D is rotated, and

with, the same, in opposite direction, the

beam B. Thefwarp coming from a reel is led over the freely rotatable auxiliary shaft 6, (Fig. 3) and displays the warp freely to the operator, who, should he discover any defects in; the warp,-iinay stop the winding operation at onee, from any point in the length'of the beam, by shifting the rod 0 so'that thebelt 0 engages the loose pulley c and stop the winding; the defects may thenbe quickly. removed and the winding continued by shifting the rod (1 in the opposite direction} It is very desirable in the art of weaving to know the length of the warp on the beam, or to p'roducemarks on the warp to indi- 1 catecertain length, say forty, sixty or any predetermined number of yards, and for this reason a measuring and marking device may be. provided. This measuring and-marking device forms the subject matter of a separate application for a patent, and Will here be briefly outlined. I

The drum is preferably made. to measure two yards at its periphery, and therefore as it makes one revolution, two yards of yarn have passed from the, reel onto the beam B. The shaft d (Figs. 5 and 6) is provided with across head'm, in which one or two adjustable pins m are secured, to oscillate the lever m hinged at m and held back by the spring mt. At the upper end of the lever m is adjustably secured a pawl of, which engages a ratchet wheel 722 having a certain number of teeth. A pin m in the side of the wheel m is provided to trip a lever wa once at every revolution, and this lever fulerumcd in a slotted connection at on has a chalk cup oi which may be raised or lowered by the two nuts m Whenever the lever m is tripped, the chalk cup is thrown up against the passing warp and leaves a mark on said warp,

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications may be made in the arrangement and use of other mechanism without departing from the spirit of the invention, and having thus fully described the nature and objects of my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A beaming frame having a drum of a certain diameter, standards in which the drum is journalled, gear wheels, loose and fast pullies with belt for driving the drum, a belt shifter adapted to control the movement of the drum and be operated from any point lengthwise of the drum, a beam to receive the yarn, slotted journals at each end for the beam, said slotted journals consisting of one stationary and one hinged side, the latter adapted to have its free end locked in place when the beam is in position on and in contact with said drum, or to have the hinged sides occupy a position in which the beam journals may be freed and guided, when the beam is to be mounted or demounted from the frame, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. A beaming frame comprising a frame, a drum journalled therein, means for starting and stopping the rotation of said drum fromany point lengthwise of the same, a demountable beam with shaft, slotted bearings on said frame for the beam shaft, the slotted bearings having one side stationary and the other hinged, the latter adapted to hold the beam shaft normally in place, or .v

to form a guide for said beam, when mounting or deniounting the beam onto or from the said drum, a lever hinged to each end of said frame and bearing on top of said shaft, sectional weights mounted on rods suspended from the free end of the levers to press the said beamand its contents onto the surface of said drum, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. A beaming frame comprising two standards, a drum journalled therein, means for rotating said drum, a deniountable beam with shaft journalled in slots in the same standards, hinged sides forming said slots and means to hold the hinged sides in position, an auxiliary shaft suitably journalled parallel with the beam shaft, a collar loosel mounted on each end of the beam shaft, a chain attached to each collar, means on. said auxiliary shaft to fasten temporarily the other end of said chains to said auxiliary shaft and means to rotate said auxiliary shaft to mount or demount the beam from the top of the drum, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

4:. A beaming frame comprising a frame, a drum journalled therein, means for starting and stopping the rotation of said drum from any point lengthwise of the same, a demountable beam with shaft, slotted bearings on said frame for the beam shaft, the slotted bearings having one side stationary and the other hinged, the latter adapted to hold the beam shaft normally in place, or to form a guide for said beam, when mounting or demounting the beam onto or from the said drum, substantially as and for purposes set forth.

5. A beamin j a drum journa led therein, means for starting and stopping the rotation of said drum frame comprising a frame,

from any point alongside of the beam, a demountable beam with shaft, the slotted bearings arranged to have one side hinged and serve as a guide for the beam shaft when mounting or demounting the same, an auxiliary shaft journalled in said frame, a pin or hook at each end of said auxiliary shaft, a chain for each of said pins, a collar on each chain adapted to encircle the ends of the beam shaft, means to rotate said auxiliary shaft to mount or demount the beam onto or from the said drum, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
